Marla, I am sorry to hear that. I'm at 135 which I guess is a better weight for me or at least my boyfriends says so. But I'm going to try to lose 5 and remain around 130 give or take a few. That is my goal anyways. It's not easy maintain. Really have to watch myself. Although I think my biggest downfall that is hurting me is I quit tracking my intake. So I really need to start tracking again. Again Marla, I am so sorry to hear that about your revision. Does your surgeon have an answer as to why it "failed"

I hope the will. I don't understand the issues w the merge. It should have been automatic. Thank you. I'm hanging in between 128-132 and have been since August. You do look great yourself.

I read and as a 41 yo that was 26 and married, feeling how you did about believing I was in love. I married at 18. We separated 3 1/2 yrs ago, divorced 1 yr ago. Married for 22 years. I have a senior in HS, daughter. Since the separation then divorce My longest and only relationship is with a male friend that lives in another state and getting divorced. It is nothing physical, only an emotional relationship. We had crushes on each other about 27 yrs ago. For the last 3 1/2 years I have been a mother, period. After my daughter graduates then it comes my time again. For me to start my life. I stayed with my ex because he was my best friend, it felt comfortable. He cheated and his GF gave him an ultimatum but I had already filed for a divorce so that tid bit about the ultimatum is irrelevant. After his affair started I hit my highest weight of 267. As soon as I found out about the affair, which was right away, we were talking and he called me fat. Ouch that is something you never forget. For several years I had toyed w the idea of this surgery. Boy am I happy that I had it. 9 months later I reached my goal weight of 125. Thought it was too skinny and now holding at 130. A year ago August was the last time I saw him until this last August. When I saw him, he didn't recognize me at all and walked right by, lol. I grabbed his arm and said his name, and he said I look horrible. First words out if his mouth. He had married that person he cheated on me w 2 months after our divorce. With that comment, I was blown away and said, "boy that's the first I've heard that. I actually hear quite the opposite always." He said, "I meant your too skinny." I told him that I was the same weight as I was in HS and after when I married him. My biggest regret is being married so young that I never found myself. I didn't know who I was. Granted you are older than I was but comfort is huge in a relationship. However, not big enough to stay when you have such opposing differences in the relationship. As other stated, I think you already stated your answer just by asking the question. Remember endings are always sad, but new beginnings are filled with excitement of the unknown. For a while, you will feel both of these (excitement and sadness) if you choose to separate. Sorry this was so long. LOL. When I first started typing, it was short and words just came pouring out.

Hey, I just found this thread. I'm here now. Did our group link get lost. How are you doing Janice? You look great

Hi Janice. I see you went back to hippie gal. You look great. How is everything going w your new career?

Still maintaining at 126. Happy :-) Gen :-) 12/15/12

It doesn't make me sick either. Well actually I can't say that, sometimes it's hit n miss. Sometimes I'll have a caramel or other small piece of candy and it makes me nauseous. I don't get chocolate cravings anymore and I stay away from it. I am maintaining fairly well though. Still at 126. I went to 130 and 4 lbs fell off within a week. Trying to stay right at current weight. I am very happy with the surgery. No regrets whatsoever. I would do it all over again if I had to, very thankful. I like others am worried about the next couple of months, the holidays. Gen :-) 12/15/12
